AVALLON, Last third of the 18th century

In perfect condition and of an unknown truncated cone typology for this Burgundian center. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only pitcher listed to date for both this center and Burgundy.
These pitchers were the wine and alcohol measures of the Ancien Régime, the large gauges intended for wine, the very small ones for spirits.Low gauge: 51 milliliters
Low gauge at bottom of beaker: 43 milliliters
Gauge corresponding to that used in CLAMECY
